Seleukos....theyre not only seleucid but also thracian and macedonian captains...(colour differs ofcourse just as shieldpatterns)

Thankyou The Stranger

These units will no doubt be very cool to see in the game

[The Stranger]

do you want them as unit or captain. and are you using a mod.

[WhiteProphecy]

i'm not using any mod, btw, how do you switch the units and skins and stuff?

[WhiteProphecy]

a captain please.

[The Stranger]

ow well here is it for a unit

This is fictional unit and therefore will have no description nor any unit cards.
youll see this unit on the map as a black peasant (card) on the battlefield youll see the real unit.

[VeroImperatoreDiRoma]

I wanted to post this question in the right thread but as a new member couldn`t.Then instead of waiting patiently I read about how long it could take to qualify for the other forums,and the words "if you feel you`ve been forgotten"# so here goes:

Regarding governors-what is the importance if any of keeping them in their relevant province?
On reflection this could be a ridiculous question with an obvious answer and proof enough why newbies aren`t allowed to post anywhere they like.



#I have difficulties getting served in crowded bars

Thanks

[Microwavegerbil]

Don't think their position has any effect on the province, though I could always be wrong.

And nah I don't think this is what the "screening" process is trying to block out, more like trying to block out people who just spam stupid stuff.

[lugh]

It depends what game you play.
In MTW, it increases the loyalty of that province in the short term. In the long term AFAIK, it increases the likelihood of developing bad V&Vs, so try to keep 'em moving, fighting in battles, that kind of thing.

[Ludens]

Regarding governors-what is the importance if any of keeping them in their relevant province?

In the first place: welcome to the Org, VeroImperatoreDiRoma.

If your question is about M:TW: there is no known effect for absentee governors whatsoever. Dread, acumen and piety have the same effect when the gov is in his domain or on the other side of the map (this does not apply for the King's influence, however). Sitting still in a province does seem to improve the chance of gaining bad vices however, so it is useful to sent governors to the frontline. Keep in mind however that the governor will get no building-related virtues if he is in a stack led by another general. The virtue will go to that general in stead.

[Stoicblitzer]

i have a question. how do i change my name on the forums?

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Pm Tosa, he'll be able to change your name for you.

[VeroImperatoreDiRoma]

OK Cheers all!
Of course I should have said MTW !! I did try to be clear but alas,fact is I moderate on a worldwide football forum and it needs patience to the extreme.You make a poll of best player and someone posts their favourite five players.

One other question,where does the pause button stand in multiplayer games?
Is it used? Should I wean myself off pausing? I want to play online after one or two more campaigns so is it bad practice?

[Uesugi Kenshin]

If RTWMP (i've dabbled a bit, but can't do it much due to dial-up) is anything to go by it requires all players to hit the pause button and splashes an announcement saying ________ wants to pause the game. I only played MTWMP a coupld of times, but I think it uses the same system now that I think about it.

I'd suggest weening yourself off of the pause button.

[Leonin Khan]

i wouldnt if i was you...if youve played RTW you prolly couldnt play the ugly graphics of MTW if you dont care about tat or if you havent played RTW you definitly should
